Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:04:57 +0000http://thebigbearbutt.com/?p=5511#comment-64816It’s working for me, at least so far. I can use my level 10 turnip to capture level 1 pets even when it reduces them to 1hp on the first blow. No deaths since I started using it.

/run for i=1,C_PetBattles.GetNumPets(2) do SELECTED_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(C_PetBattles.GetName(2,i)..” – “.._G[“BATTLE_PET_BREED_QUALITY”..C_PetBattles.GetBreedQuality(2,i)]) end

(should all be on one line, but will wrap in the macro UI of course)
You will probably have to keybind it, since most of your UI disappears when you start a pet battle, but it’ll show you the quality of all the beasties you’re facing.

I have to admit, I thought the pokemanz thing was stupid to begin with, but I’ve gotten to enjoy it. I have an all boss team, Lil Ragnaros, Lil Tarecgosa and Lil XT right now, although they’re all level 4. Been trying to level characters more than pokemanz. Glad my terrible turnip didn’t sell, now. after Bear’s comment with the capture attack…

I rather like mechanical pets for the ‘come back to life’ thing, although undead do it too. My only current undead pet is the vampiric batling from back when Kara had the extra boss with the arcanite ripper.

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:29:39 +0000http://thebigbearbutt.com/?p=5511#comment-64811So… in reading this post, I got the impression that there’s a way to tell if a pet is poor, common, uncommon, or rare before [or while] fighting it. Is that something that’s done through an addon, or an ability that’s gained through leveling up Pokepets?

I’ve been playing less WoW lately, still haven’t bought the MoP expansion, but have had some fun with “non-combat pet” combat. I have a few combinations that I use, but I don’t think I’ve gotten any individual pet above level 5 or so. I am feeling pretty fortunate to have been around long enough to have the Spirit of Competition in my lineup…

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 17:39:07 +0000http://thebigbearbutt.com/?p=5511#comment-64810Just curious, is there any confirmation that the turnip works as stated? (I still, with over 20 plants daily, have yet to get any seeds other than the ones I’m growing…)

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:56:05 +0000http://thebigbearbutt.com/?p=5511#comment-64809At this stage, I’ve been using the Ancona Chicken for pets that are equivalent in level (six at the moment) or lower. I use the ability to reduce the opponent’s attack and then pop in some lower pets to get them some experience and also reduce the damage I’m throwing out at the same time. Worst case scenario, is I foolishly try to use my Dwarf for catching pets and he throws six traps before actually succeeding. By then I’ve probably lost one pet. But otherwise it has been a sound strategy.

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 02:46:40 +0000http://thebigbearbutt.com/?p=5511#comment-64808@Theodoxus – No addon that I know of shows the rarity of the pet BEFORE you enter into battle with them, as I believe they are generated randomly at that point. As BBB pointed out, PetBattleTeams from Curse is great for mousing over a creature before you enter battle with them, to see if you’ve captured them already, how many you have, and the quality of the ones you have.

PetBattleQualityGlow from Curse is awesome for telling you the quality of the opponents you’re facing, once you’ve started the battle.

@BBB – As an alternative to the Terrible Turnip, an amphibian like a Toad or Small Frog has the Frog Kiss ability, which has ramping damage. It starts out small, but increases on each successful hit, plus you have the chance to CC your opponent by turning them into a frog for 1 round.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 18:00:24 +0000http://thebigbearbutt.com/?p=5511#comment-64807I usually fight wild pets that are 2-3 levels above my own pets. That gives good difficulty bonus xp, and it’s not likely I kill anything by accident. A healing pet is good for capturing duties as well.
@ Theodoxus: I don’t think you can tell what the rarity of a pet is until you begin combat, but there is an add-on that will show you the rarity while you are fighting it (Battle pet quality notifier).
